Hea guys..heres the latest.Still no confirmation on her "professed pregnacy".Now..she is saying she has a job offer in Minnesota(now here in Okla.).

No divorce filed or custody granted as of yet.So..could she leave w/ my son and possible baby? This has me very worried.I know state to state is different but there should be some generalities.Anyone know about this/my rights?

I know..get a lawyer but that is not financially feasible.Advice please?

Thanks,

Savery1

Some lawyers offer free consultations. Also check w/your county's legal aid. Many lawyers do pro bono.

You need a lawyer ASAP, no bones about it. You cannot afford to NOT have one at th is point!

Once she leaves the state, getting her back and your child or children, will be much more costly! Beg, Borrow if you have to, get a lawyer NOW!

Does your state offer legal aid? I know they won't cover divorce but they might be able to help keep your son in the state. Contact whatever the equivalent of of Department of Children and Families is in your state. That is what I did when my ex threatened to take my son.

You might want to check with your legal aide. That is where I have my lawyer through for the divorce, and it is costing me nothing.

Sorry..but you have to at least have a consultation with a Lawyer and find out what you need to be doing. ASAP!!

In Utah...if there is nothing ordered by the court as far as custody... yes the STBX could leave with the kids and there is nothing I could do about it. Get an order... however you can!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
